“I built Everline because founders shouldn’t have to choose between clean books and building the thing.”

Renata Cole spent 12 years building financial infrastructure for early-stage startups before going fractional. She’s led fundraise diligence, closed the books, and sat in board meetings for companies from first check to Series A — and built Everline Advisory to bring that same clarity to founders who need CFO-level rigor without a CFO-level hire.

Questions founders ask

Questions founders ask

I already have a bookkeeper — do I still need this?

Usually, yes to both. A bookkeeper keeps the books accurate day to day; I turn those books into the financial story investors and boards actually need. Most clients keep their bookkeeper and bring me in for modeling, reporting, and board-level thinking.

How much of my time does this actually take?

About an hour a month once we’re set up — a short async check-in, plus whatever comes up around a raise or a board meeting. The goal is less time on financials, not more.

What does it cost?
